Save the Planet! Make Politicians Extinct!

It is a man-made disaster. … That’s the tragedy of California, because of liberal environmentalists’ insistence — despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”–Carly Fiorina

Nobody’s Opinion

It’s just another day in California…thousands of acres of trees being destroyed, thousands of animals of all kinds dying. And thousands of people will lose their homes to fires…all throughout the West. Add to that, thousands of articles are being written blaming the destruction of so much beauty on global warming. Man, is evil according them–and the cause.

Well I have to agree. There ARE men that are causing this, but it’s not the dumb nobody like you and me driving our SUV’s, it’s the U.S. Government, thank you very much.

Yes, what has our lovely ‘government” done for us here? Forget the illegals for a moment –who more than one has started fires just to get some extra work…and left trash all over the Southwest….

I was thinking about the ONE argument that all the GOP Rino’s have been saying—- WHY Donald Trump cannot win…

They are all repeating like parrots in prostitutes parlor: He has no government experience…they say.

Rick Perry is especially upset about that.

Wow. Instead of having me review what seems to many of us a priceless advantage—I thought I’d post this excellent explanation of what happens when government gets involved with the environment from the last REAL reporter for the Rolling Stone Magazine: P.J. O’Rourke. P.J. lays out succinctly how our government’s interfering with the environment has caused the country to fall apart faster than normally allowed.

From his book, All the Trouble in the World: (An excellent book for your library.)

While the rest of America was hugging trees, the U.S. Forest Service was selling them at throwaway prices and allowing clear cutting in places where ecological damage would be extreme and reforestation almost impossible.

*******************

The Bureau of Reclamation was damming rivers, turning scenic canyons into motorboat parking lots, and leaving salmon with no place to have sex. the electricity produced by these dams and the water collected behind them were sold at below market prices permitting cites to grow where cities shouldn’t and allowing farmers to irrigate land they oughtn’t. The land suffered salinization: The cities trembled, burned, and got covered in mudslides. And disaster relief was paid with our tax dollars.

*********************

The Department of Defense used more of those tax dollars to dump hazardous wastes on public land. There are between five and ten thousand federal property dump sites. Having paid for them once, we’ll pay for them again. In September 1991 the New York Times estimated the cleanup costs will be between 75 and 250 billion dollars.

******************

Meanwhile the Army Corps of Engineers was traipsing around draining wetlands and mopping up flood plains so that if we’re ever invaded, our enemies won’t get their feet wet.

*****************

And the Bureau of Land Management was abetting the degradation of thousands of acres of range land by leasing grazing rights to ranchers dirt cheap, dirt being about all that would be left when the subsidized cattle got done hovering welfare grass.

**********************

And, because of various laws passed by idiot Congress, the only way for the Forest Service to become richer and more powerful is to cut the trees it grows. When the Forest Service manages a forest for recreational purposes, the recreational fees go to the U.S. Treasury. But the Forest Service gets to keep a portion of revenue from logging and gets appropriations from Congress to manage land that’s logged. In the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, it cost the Forest Service $100 in access roads, environmental impact studies, and so for the to get a tree ready to be cut. The tree then sells for $2. In the real world this would be a $98 dollar net loss. But of the Forest Service its a $102 gain to the budget.

*****************

The DOA, (Department of Agriculture) has been paying crop subsidies since 1927. The subsides are production based. the more you grow of something nobody wants, the more the government pays you for growing it.

***************

The government has another method of keeping food prices high, through acreage reduction programs. The DOA culture gives you cash for staying in bed and planting nothing. But in order to get paid for not farming a piece of land, yon have to prove the you used to farm it. So woods were cleared and swamps were drained anyway, to get money off leaving them alone later.

Yes, good old Uncle Sam can destroy more of the physical beauty of America than any rush hour L.A. freeway daily drive to work. Add to that the politicians and their corporate jet setting around the globe, and you have a government who is just salivating to destroy the REST of America, and the globe, and they know how! They’ve been doing it for years.

All they need is every country getting on board. So little time! The Planet MUST be saved! It will cost trillions!

So, all those governors who claim to have superior experience because they have been a governor, Senator, etc….ask yourself: Is that REALLY want we want? MORE politicians? Politicians who set up money-making environment scams in order to get MORE money to fix the environmental problems they cause?

Obama is on the road to putting up Windmills all over the country. The people who mourn for one Lion, could care less about millions of dead birds.

The only thing that will save the planet is…make all politicians extinct…before they kill all life on earth.

About

I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)

Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
